Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his lair to “see” his shadow on Thursday, which means ... six more weeks of winter.
However, Sun Prairie’s version of Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil is predicting an early spring.
Jimmy the Groundhog did not see his shadow Thursday morning in Sun Prairie. And, according to legend, that means that there will be an early spring this year.
Who are you gonna believe?
Happy Groundhog Day!!!!

Honda has released Matthew Broderick's "Ferris Bueller" Super Bowl ad.
Broderick plays himself in the clip, but with plenty of "Bueller" references.
After calling in sick, Broderick takes off in the 2012 Honda CR-V (instead of Cameron's dad's 1961 Ferrari) for a day on the town, hitting up the beach, a parade and the Natural History museum as Yello's "Oh Yeah" plays in the background.
Honda explains in the clip's description on YouTube that they "hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial. Some are obvious, some are VERY subtle. See how many you can find."

LodgeNet -- the biggest provider of hotel room television entertainment -- created a free app that turns iPhones, iPads and Androids into remote controls.
The app also contains information about the hotel, local events, attractions, directions and restaurants.
About 2,000 hotels that carry LodgeNet's TV systems have been updated to accept the app's controls.

Will you be MY Sugar momma and pay off my student loans? - Bry
A new website called www.SeekingArrangement.com, provides another option for college students that don’t want to wait on tables.
The site puts local college students in need of help with their tuition in touch with sugar daddies and sugar mammas for something called “sugar dating.”
Some daters seek friendship, others look for fun, but the relationships all have one thing in common -- money, and lots of it. In fact, one dater on the site is looking for at least $10,000 to $20,000 per month.
The creator of the web site says that it’s not a site for prostitution because there is no guarantee of sex.
Want to earn stuff by watching TV? There’s an app for that!!!

Fox aired a special 'American Idol' after the NY Giants defeated the SF 49ers in their NFC Championship playoff game.
'Idol' was in San Diego on the USS Midway aircraft carrier.
Kicking off the show was 19-year-old Jennifer Diley-- dressed in stars-and-stripes bikini top and a pair of tiny shorts. She did NOT impress the judges with Jessica Simpson's "With You". Steven Tyler told her, "I think the voice lacks the fire that your get-up does." Despite her attempt to sing Mariah Carey's "Hero", she still got a "No".
The judges LOVED 26-year-old Ashley Robles, who covered Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". All three judges agreed to send her to Hollywood.
Also getting a pass through were Jayrah Gibson and Aubree Dieckmeyer. Jayrah delivered a soulful rendition of Musiq Soulchild's "Just Friends", while Aubree sang Michael Buble's "Feeling Good".
Next to audition was Ali Shields, who got to "Idol" with the help of Ellen DeGeneres. Though she hit the sour note with her attempt at rapping, the 19-year-old redeemed herself by doing a few bars of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Just Like a Star" and got three "yes" from the judges.
Teen singer Kyle Crews impressed the judges with his version of Monica's "Angel of Mine". All three judges agreed that he was the best male voice of the day.
Also walking away with the golden ticket were Jim Carrey's daughter and Jason Hamlin. Jane got sent to Hollywood by singing "Something to Talk About".
Hamlin, who is nicknamed Wolf has to sing Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues", as well as Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Midnight Special".
